"Unless I enhance my divine power, my charm will be ineffective, and I can completely ignore the divine power of other gods."

As the two kings of the original work, Freya Familia was naturally among Ming Ge's invited guests.

Clearly, most of the gods knew that Freya could see through the essence of a person's soul, and that even sealing her could not completely seal away this essence, which is why Loki asked her that question.

Chapter 113 Establishing a Nation

All innate gods possess equal divine status, but their powers and strengths differ.

Zeus was known as a great god and held a leadership position in the heavens.

Freya's power is also considerable; she is among the strongest of the goddesses, and even powerful deities would find her troublesome, as seals cannot completely suppress her true nature.

Freya, having raised Kamui to its peak, possesses the power to change the entire Orario, creating the Lower World Garden.

This is something that can be done without divine power, solely through divine might.

Of course, Zeus must have taken this into account when he invited Freya; he himself may have had the means to retaliate.

In the original story, it can only be said that the main force was unexpectedly wiped out in the war against the Black Dragon, leaving them with no choice but to transfer power and then search for new hope for salvation in the outside world.

"As expected of the King of Magicians, I think even if you enhance your Kamui, you might not be able to defeat that child."

Loki wasn't disappointed; she had already guessed this.

She shook her head and said, "After all, that child slew Black Dragon before becoming an adventurer. We're very curious to see what kind of magic and skills his talent will inspire after he becomes an adventurer. I suppose... he's a unique miracle in the lower realm."

The power of magic and skills inspired by Divine Blessing has an upper limit, just as an adventurer's base stats cannot reach 999 (S).

However, the possibilities of the lower realms are beyond the complete comprehension of even the gods. Even with the basic data of the 'cap of Falna,' there is still the possibility of it being exceeded.

Magic and skills are synonymous with possibilities for adventurers, and Divine Blessing is a ritual for exploring those possibilities.

This is why perfect gods would descend to this filthy and imperfect lower realm.

"Your guess is very likely correct."

Freya said meaningfully, "Those children called 'dolls' wear the same type of robes."

"Could it be..." Loki's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of his heart racing rose within him.

She had a guess, so she slightly opened her eyes and squinted to meet Freya's gaze.

Their eyes met, confirming each other's thoughts; it seemed they were on the same page.

Ming Ge, in a certain respect, has reached the realm of the gods—this is the idea that came to them.

But after exchanging a glance, the two didn't continue the topic, since this wasn't their territory and walls could hear them.

Indeed, the entire venue was within Ming Ge's perception, almost like a god's-eye view, with every person, every conversation, and even every glance clearly visible.

"I'm really curious..."

Freya whispered, "What exactly is his soul like?"

It's said that this 'son-in-law' was picked up by Hera's daughter; how lucky she is... She wants to pick one up too.

And... it just so happens to be Hera.

"It's about to begin, isn't it?"

Hephaestus whispered, "What will the future of Orario be like?"

Chun, who was lying on the table, kept glancing at Ming Ge.

As the central figure at the banquet, it's only natural that he would be the center of attention.

Compared to the others, Chun was more curious about Ming Ge's forging abilities.

"It doesn't matter what happens to Orario, anyway, the Dungeon is guarded by the Demon Lord, so it's completely safe."

"What interests me is what the Raiden Shogun said... According to rumors, the Raiden Shogun is just a puppet, so the person I was talking to must be the Demon King."

Chun said earnestly, "I really want to ask him for advice on forging again."

"I think... there will be an opportunity."

Although Hephaestus was an honest person, she was still a god, and naturally she could see why Ming Ge had invited them.

If Ming Ge has even a little ambition, he will want to integrate Orario. After all, the responsibility of guarding the Dungeon is too important; it's no exaggeration to say that it's the core of the entire Orario.

In this way, there will inevitably be opportunities to work together in the future.

Furthermore, considering that Ming Ge was willing to communicate with Chun while controlling the Raiden Shogun in the Dungeon, he is easy to talk to, which is why Hephaestus said that.

Sure enough, when the atmosphere became more lively, Ming Ge got down to business.

They clapped their hands, and the music stopped.

After drawing everyone's attention, Ming Ge said, "The reason for inviting the pillars of Orario's clans is probably obvious to everyone."

"Yes, I want to talk about Orario's future."

Looking at Ming Ge, who was confident yet not arrogant, the gods couldn't help but nod slightly.

This is a hero-level figure who is impeccable in every aspect, and even the gods must take him seriously.

"Orario's biggest problem right now is the rampant activity of the Dungeon. I doubt even the great god Uranus could suppress Dungeon now."

Hephaestus spoke first, looking at Uranus.

"That's right, my prayers are no longer accepted by the Dungeon."

Uranus, his solemn expression softening slightly, said, "Ultimately, my initial willingness to suppress the Dungeon stemmed from the fact that the children couldn't guard the entrance."

"Now that the Black Dragon has been defeated and the entrance to the Dungeon is guarded by the Demon King alone, there is no need for me to continue sitting on that dark throne."

"Now, here's the problem," Zeus said with a smile and a peaceful expression. "Ordinary adventurers will have no income, so life will be difficult. It's not good to just let these members of their families leave Orario."

"Even powerful adventurers face extremely high risks entering the Dungeon. If I remember correctly, level 7 monsters have already reached the Dungeon entrance."

This means that the definition of potential threats from Dungeon is no longer valid.

Even with Level 5 or 6 adventurers leading the team, unexpected dangers can still occur; the risks are many times higher than before.

"That's exactly right."
